ALCULATIONS
Overview
The monitor performs physiological calculations using data acquired by the monitor
and other devices. The monitor stores derived parameters and displays them on the
Results (Calculations) screen, Drug Calculator, or Labs display. Available inputs and
calculated parameters vary depending on whether you use standard or optional
calculations software.
As a standard feature, the monitor automatically calculates a set of hemodynamic
parameters called Hemo-Calcs whenever you measure cardiac output (see page 15-14
for detailed information). The monitor can also be configured to calculate drug-
related parameters, including concentration, rate, total dose, and total volume.
In addition to these standard calculation features, two additional features are available
with the PhysioCalcs software option:
Hemodynamics – The monitor calculates hemodynamic parameters based on
cardiac output, invasive blood pressure and patient data (for example, height
and weight).
Hemo/Oxy/Vent Calculations – This locked option provides oxygenation,
and ventilation parameters in addition to hemodynamic parameters (for a
complete list of hem/oxy/vent parameters, see page 16-5). When the monitor
is connected to WinView or a device using the Medical Information Bus
(MIB) interface protocol, you can also obtain laboratory data through the
Hemo/OxyVent menu.
